When the digital world is cohesive and interesting, it becomes a believable world to exist in. It requires excellent writing and good visual/sound design. Some games I’ve gotten immersed in: World of Warcraft, Skyrim, SOMA, System Shock 2, Prey, Outer Wilds, Breath of the Wild, No Man’s Sky

Yeah there was like, a whole thing about that

Game prices are set by their publisher, and prices are consistent across various platforms, regardless of market presence. So, Steam is the same price but a better service generally.

Yup, seconding this. The gameplay is simple enough for a first time gamer and they’re funny. Lego Skywalker Saga and Lego Harry Potter were a blast, and we picked up Lego Voyagers but haven’t played it yet.

It honestly has a decent lineup. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Metroid Prime 4 are all solid. I’ve really been enjoying Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, the co-op has MUCH better performance than the first game. Plus many other Switch games just have better performance on Switch 2, like Pokémon Scarlet/Violet.

202 hours so far, and I recently picked it up again. I really love the worldbuilding with the aliens, and the exploration is very fun. My main gripe is that it’s not very conducive to multiplayer, since you’re constantly on the move with little need to maintain a consistent base. I tried using my friend’s corvette as a main hub but defaulted to my own planetary base after a while.

We’re just used to it by now, but the title is phrased in a way to make you curious what the author meant by “what’s important in 3D level design”. I wouldn’t call this clickbait, but it’s definitely written in a way that intentionally omits the central conclusion. A better article title would say “Its lack of residents show how important this is for 3D level design”.

I thought the point of it was that it was more durable. The most common break was folding the screen the wrong way and snapping it in half. Is the pic above even a 2DS?

EDIT: That’s a 2DS XL. Looks like it would have all the problems of a 3DS.

I enjoyed Cadence of Hyrule a lot more than Crypt of the Necrodancer for some reason. Maybe I just love the setting of Hyrule that much more. Probably just the overall polish on the game. But that’s an easy recommendation.

Also Smash Bros Melee, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, and Luigi’s Mansion. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle too, but that was a port with added features. Gamecube lineup was STACKED that year.

SOMA is also fantastic

Playing “RV There Yet” with friends. I’m replaying “DELTARUNE” and that game has me laughing out loud every 5 minutes (same goes for UNDERTALE). Also recently played the demo for “Yapyap” and laughed a bunch.

This game is awesome. Me and two friends are only to mile 4 and I’m terrified at how much worse it’s going to get

Yeah, it looks like a multiplayer Dungeon Draft, which is awesome. I hope people don’t just meticulously recreate major cities, but rather use the opportunity to reimagine what our settlements could look like.

They had that in Ruby/Sapphire

So, not a remake, but a throwback. The thing that really stood out to me was how bland the music was though. The HoMM series has such incredible music in every entry (maybe not in 6, haven’t played it), but these songs sound super generic. Still, the games are great and it’s awesome there’s a new entry.

The remaster should do more than a fan mod though

I mean, some production value beyond upscaling would be a start. Deus Ex isn’t some forgotten brand, it definitely warrants something like the System Shock remakes. High poly models, remastered animations, and modern lighting effects would be a reason to actually purchase this over the original.

Hell yeah! I’ve actually been thinking that I haven’t heard from them in a while.

Favorite in the series. But I’m just getting started with BL4 so my opinion may change.

Anyway, here’s a second for Soullock challenge. Can be very hilarious. Have to add Lego Star Wars: Skywalker Saga and Lego Harry Potter, awesome couch co-op.

For vnovels, check out Katawa Shoujo. It has a great storyline and characters, and it’s free!

If you’re looking for a platformer I’d recommend Flipwitch - Forbidden Sex Hex

Hell yeah PSO! My friends just got back into Phantasy Star Universe on the private Clemantine server. It’s glorious :D My top 3:

• Mother 3
• Outer Wilds
• Stardew Valley

My friend and I played split screen for years in high school on a tiny 12" CRT. I’ll never forget finally beating the Ruins on extreme difficulty. He had to revive me 10 times during the boss fight because one attack would always 1-shot me. It was a 15-minute white-knuckle struggle, and it was incredible.

I bet there’s private PSO servers you could hop back into. I’m currently playing PSU on Clemantine and it’s an amazing nostalgia experience.

Check out Outward. It has a Morrowind/Everquest kind of feel. It’s an offline RPG, but you can play co-op. You have to basically discover all the mechanics/secrets through trial and error or talking to NPCs, which makes it feel very old school.

Eh this lawsuit actually sounds like it has grounds… Tencent asked to make a spinoff, got rejected, then made it anyway.

Sony states that during the pitch meeting, Tencent did not disclose it was already working on Light of Motiram. According to the lawsuit, Sony rejected Tencent’s Horizon pitch in April 2024, stating that while it “greatly appreciated Aurora’s level of passion and the effort put into the pitch,” it would not be pursuing the partnership.

When Tencent did announce Light of Motiram in November 2024, Sony states in the lawsuit that its gameplay trailer did not feature any of the “Eastern-inspired clothing, aesthetics, and backdrops that Tencent pitched and instead copied Horizon whole cloth.”

Always keeps you on your toes. System Shock 2 also had monsters able to respawn anywhere, so you were never 100% safe.

The new contract ensures “safety guardrails” around AI, which includes “consent and disclosure requirements for AI digital replica use and the ability for performers to suspend consent for the generation of new material during a strike”.

Great to see. Now we’ll see if this actually ends all of the voice actor strikes in the industry. I know there were a bunch that started due to this strike but actually hinge on the company’s stance on allowing non-union members to remain non-union.

Rofl this is what I most disagreed with as well. 3DS certainly had some bangers, but I think many would list it among the weakest first-party lineups

Highly recommended. It’s unintrusive and fast, and you only have to check it now and then to switch up your activity. Every time I go for a run or get groceries, I look forward to what I’ve found in game :D

Have you played Prey? Only other game to scratch that same itch for me.

Zoomboingding, 8 miesięcy temu

Prey, System Shock 2, Outer Wilds, and Undertale are fully-realized microcosms where the primary game is unfolding the complex origami of the setting. All of them absolutely beautiful to experience.

Haven’t actually played these two but from what I gather, they definitely fit the list!

Yeah I think it became such a meme partially because the comic itself was out of place in CAD, but mostly for Buckley’s reputation. Plenty of other serial webcomics had similar range of tone and style.
